The commutator in a DC motor is a rotating switch that supplies electric current to the armature in order to make it rotate. The commutator reverses the direction of current flow in the armature winding in order to reverse the direction of its magnetic field. This reversing process is what allows the motor to turn continuously, as the armature’s magnetic field will always be attracted to the opposite direction of the stationary magnetic field.
